How Do We Behave?

[prayforme]

the only rational course is to pursue those things that serve your own ends and maximise the pleasure and happiness

I think most folks, religious or not, subscribe to this. Even the most altruistic of actions, by the way, has some selfish motives. When you help someone out of a crisis of some sort, for example, it also affords you some happiness and self-worth. Help others help yourself.

But yeah life is fleeting. Might as well find some kind of distraction in the meantime.
